The 2020 Ford Fusion is still a contender

The Ford Fusion gets some slight visual tweaks for the 2019 model year, but it's unchanged for 2020.

Those tweaks include revised front and rear fascias and new wheel designs for various trims. 

The 2019 Fusion also received new standard driver-assist technologies like collision-mitigation braking, lane-keep assist, blind spot monitor and auto high-beams, which sticks around for 2020.

Across its five trims, Fusion offers four engines starting with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 175 horsepower.

Fusion's top three trims get standard LED headlights, while the top two trims get LED fog lights. 

The Fusion gets its power to either the front wheels or all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. 

On all trims but the base Fusion S, tech stays with the times thanks to a Wi-Fi hotspot and an eight-inch touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

All Fusions come with a rotary transmission dial. 

The most efficient Fusions are estimated to return 21 miles per gallon in the city and 34 mpg highway.
